[nfbmi-talk] The new governmental Affairs list

[joe harcz Comcast]

Yup, we in the Federation defend our rights to the truth and that includes 
the truth about corrupted VR programs. And we defend freedoms of speech and 
press. We do not deny it to others.

"We weren't always the ones doing the suing. Dr. Jernigan wrote an article 
about a vocational rehabilitation office in Pittsburgh that only bought 
assistive

technology from one vendor-who happened to be the husband of one of the voc 
rehab counselors. In the article Dr. Jernigan referred to these activities

as "skullduggery." What a wonderful word. Skullduggery. I never knew 
precisely how to define skullduggery, but I knew that Dr. Jernigan and 
Barbara Pierce,

who was being sued for being the editor of the Monitor, had a First 
Amendment right to say it when they wanted. The court agreed. I haven't seen 
"skullduggery"

in the Monitor since, but when the occasion arises, I am sure we will see it 
again."

>From the Editor: Advocacy depends on a worthy cause, volunteers who support 
it, and often on paid people who have expertise that cannot be provided 
without

the training they bring in their professions. We hire competent, capable, 
and passionate lawyers to make our case in court, and Dan Goldstein is one 
of

our best. He is not only someone we hire; he is someone who believes in us, 
believes deeply in the worthiness of the cause we embrace, and has taken as

one of his major life's commitments seeing that we get the information 
necessary to engage in the larger community. Here are remarks Dan made 
during the

first afternoon session of the 2014 Convention:
